HOW YOUR MEANING-MATRIX PREVENTS YOUR HEARING

Your matrix inevitably interferes with your listening. It is inevitable and it is inescapable. While that is not good news, what is good news is this—it does not just happen with you—it happens with everyone. We are all limited in our hearing by our matrix. I mentioned this is the previous Morpheus post and promised to write about it. So here we go.

Your Matrix determines how you process information and create meaning. Because of this, it operates simultaneously as your filters. That’s why at the heart of your Matrix are your meta- programs, your belief patterns, your value patterns, your style of meaning-making, the quality of the meanings that you make, and so on. That is, the patterns you develop in your mind about what things mean, how they work, their significance, and your intention (the first four basic meaning-making structures), those patterns determine and, in fact, create your primary filters. From there, you filter the world so that it makes sense to your psycho-logics. That is, what you see fits your meaning- structures and how you make sense of things.
